Very strange stuff going on

Ok, well stuff is getting even weirder now. I have run all the steps, did not get any virus/trojan hits, very few spyware. When I startup my computer, doesnt matter if its in safe mode or not, it opens up "my documents" and thats it, no start menu, no trays, no desktop items, nothing else. I have no idea what to think.

 

here is the other files

 

When windows starts it opens up the my documents folder automatically. When I type in the explorer.exe into the prompt, it does the same thing, the icons are not there, and the toolbar isnt at the bottom. I have not done any editing of my registry files, the only thing i really have messed with is msconfig to control what starts up, but ive been doing that for a very long time. Also, when i run hjt, should i select the fix problems button? I wasnt sure on this because i tried very hard to follow the directions as closely as possible. I did the get run zip the same way i did the show new, but i will try it again and post the results in the next reply. maybe i did it wrong tho, what im doing is right clicking on the zip and hitting explore, then i click on the .bat file, which prompts me to "extract all", "run", or "cancel". I then extract that to its own folder, is this correct. oh yea, the dos that you had me run does list explorer in windows.

 

one more thing, i had to go into normal startup rather than the safe mode with networking to run the online scanners

 

Alright...
-yes i did run the explorer.exe from task manager.
-The msconfig things i have messed with in the past are things like aim or yahoo messenger, just stuff that i know what it is and would like for it not to start up with everything else.
-the hjt button i was refering to was the "fix checked" button, but like i said in the last post, i did not do anything because i did not want to mess anything up any further
-I am running everything straight from the my documents folder that opens up when windows starts up. As far as my desktop not appearing, i should clarify that my background image is there, but that is it, and you can not right click or anything like that.
- In the cmd this is what appears...
c:\WINDOWS>dir explorer.exe
Volume in drive C is PRESARIO
Volume Serial Number is 60FE-1AD6
Directory of C:\WINDOWS

8/03/2004 11:00 PM 1,032,192 explorer.exe
1 File(s) 1,032,192 bytes
0 Dir(s) 128,707,166,208 bytes free

-The reason for the ie6 download on that date was because i upgraded to ie7, and did not like it whatsoever, so i uninstalled it, and then downloaded ie6 again.
-Limewire was re downloaded on that date because i accidently un installed it the previous day

-The reason I came to this website, was because I was having problems with yahoo and myspace loading up in ie. The problem was that when i went to mail.yahoo.com, it would not load up at all. myspace would load, but some images would not load( like friends pictures), but on my computer downstairs, they appear just fine, same thing with the mail.yahoo. That is when i knew something was going on with ie. I do have the mcafee package for this year, keep it updated and all that, and also keep windows updated.
-Another thing that was going on previously to the desktop going away was that when I shutdown, this message comes up, every time..

"winlogon.exe Application Error
This exception Single Step
A Single step or trace operation has just been completed
0x80004 occurred in application at location0x77a40...
click ok to terminate, click cancel to debug"
-also i get this message, which i have to repeatably click to make it go
away, and thus have the machine go off
can not load dll
ProcNICs.dll

That is everything that was going on prior to starting the malware removals. I was not sure why this was going on, that is why i went ahead and went thru all of the steps, if i did have malware on my computer, it was deleted before i ran any of the tests requested in the "read me". I was running the tests to try to fix the other problems, the desktop problem came up after that, which further confuses me.

Thanks for the help, im going to get started on what you are having me do next and will attach the appropriate files in the next post.

 

Here is the new .txt's. let me know if i did it right this time

Ok, doing that with HJT did work, my desktop is back. I did get a pop up notice from counter spy(i think) saying "a winlogon shell startup program requires approval... A program trying to enable itself to startup when Windows loads has been detected...Name: explorer.exe... Advice: since it is not known if this is spyware you should analyze it before deciding to allow it." then asks me to allow or block it, my question is what to do. Thank you so much for the help with everything else! So far i have not run into any problems

 

Oh yea, with the hjt log that you requested now that i have rebooted, do you want me to turn everything off again before running it? im pretty sure you will want me to, just double checking

 

so far all ive noticed that doesnt work is the myspace website. when i enter it into firefox, it says at the bottom, "connecting to x.myspace.com...", i dont know if that means anything or not, either way it takes a very long time to load, and then when it does, the site barely resembles what it should be, everything is out of place, and many images dont load at all. One other thing that isnt working properly, when i startup i never see the welcome screen where you should pick the user to use and enter the pw. I actually have it set up so that you have to type the user in, but it still doesnt come up.

I ran hjt and have attached the log.

 

alright, i did the fix me register merge, and it was successful, and the link said that my msgina was fine, but when i restarted, I still didnt get the log on screen. And when i went to restart, I still am getting those 2 messages on the shutdown phase, the winlogon application error and the dll load error.

As far as the myspace thing, I am typing it right into the address bar in firefox, and get that x.myspace. When i do it thru ie, it does load up, and looks pretty good, but I can not see all of my friends avatars. Its not that big of a deal if i dont, i just want to make sure there arent any security issues i am exposed to since this issue is not happening on my other computer.

 

Another thing i found, when i mail things thru yahoo, i can not use the address book, it does not auto complete, and when i hit the insert address, the pop up that comes up doesnt load. But, when i get emails from people from my address book, they come up as who they are. not sure if thats anything i did or not?

 

alright, i did all of that, still having the problems tho. Myspace is now looking better thru firefox, but wont load the icons still, and still has that x.myspace thing going on, it wont load those same icons in ie either. When i turned off the computer, i am still getting the winlogon error. just now when i turned it on, i got a message saying that awgina.dll failed to load, so i went into safe mode and ran that fixer again, and it allowed me to get into here in normal mode, but i am still not getting the user screen.

 

sorry, i had to go out of the country, i am still experiencing the same problems, and looked for awgina.dll, it is not there. The winlogon fixer program only checked for msgina though, is that what it was supposed to do? I will wait for your reply about the missing dll before i do anything with firefox. Thanks
